Ironically I was at the DMV yesterday, one which was in a town where there is a large populus of elderly people. I saw quite a few people, I felt, looked too physically out of shape to drive (osteoporosis, etc.). While they may be sharp as a tack mentally, their physical self is just aging. I also saw cases vice/versa, where they seemed fit but mentally "off". I was once hit when I was PG with my daughter, the man was very old. His son later asked me if he seemed "confused" due to medicines. I was all "uh coulda killed me and my unborn! Get him off the road!". IMHO they need to toughen regulations to at least provide more frequent testing (and road testing) upon your older years. I myself would agree for public safety.
